Conservative vs. Surgical Treatments For Bunions: What’s Right For You?

Bunions are hallux valgus and they are common painful conditions mainly affecting the feet. They develop when the joint of the big toe shifts, producing a bony enlargement that may cause pain when walking or putting on shoes. For treatment of this condition, we make various conservative and surgical solutions available for the management of bunion pain and overall foot conditions. Conservative Treatments If the condition is not severe, one can wear shoes with broader toes, apply bunion pads, and wear custom-made orthopedic shoes. Pain is relieved through icing as well as usage of anti-inflammatory drugs. Surgical Option However, if the bunion has become quite painful and problematic in your day to day activities, your doctor may suggest you undergo minimally invasive bunionectomy. This procedure involves the use of smaller incisions in order to realign the joint, and such advantages include the following: Contrary to this, bunions do not have to come in your way! Make an appointment with our podiatrists today to find out which treatment will suit your needs.

Busting the Biggest Myths About Bunions

A bunion refers to the bony bump that forms at the base of the big toe joint. It is a type of foot deformity that causes the big toe to incline toward the smaller toes, instead of being in a straight position. Bunions may be painless in the early stages but as they progress, they may cause pain that can interfere with your daily activities.

Here are some common misconceptions that people have of bunions:

 Myth #1: Bunions have to be surgically treated by default.

Fact: While surgery can treat bunions effectively, most doctors do not recommend them right away especially if the bunion does not cause severe pain or deformity yet. Certain lifestyle and footwear modifications may help relieve the symptoms and prevent further damage.

 Myth #2: Only women develop bunions.

Fact: Although women are more prone to bunions, men get bunions, too. The reason why women tend to suffer more from bunions is due to footwear. Wearing ill-fitting shoes and high heels can cause overcrowding and pressure in the toes, which increase the risk of bunions or make them worse if they already exist.

 Myth #3: Bunions are genetic.

Fact: Bunions are not inherited but foot shapes that are more prone to developing bunions can be blamed on genes. Certain foot structures can cause weight to be spread unevenly while walking, and this increased pressure can lead to bunions.

 Myth #4: Bunion surgery is extremely painful.

Fact: Pain after the procedure is manageable with pain relievers, lifestyle and footwear modifications, and physiotherapy. Pain tolerance levels also vary for everyone. Finally, if minimally invasive techniques were used, the recovery process will be faster with less discomfort.

 Myth #5: Splinting can correct the bunion.

Fact: Applying a splint in your bunion can aid with the pain but will not correct it permanently. Consult your doctor to know the treatment that best suits your bunion condition.

 Myth #6: Painless bunions do not need to be treated.

Fact: When a bunion is left untreated, it will worsen over time until basic actions like walking feel painful.

 Myth #7: All bunions require surgery over time.

Fact: If the bunion was treated early and managed properly, it slows down the progression and reduces the symptoms. Surgery may be avoided if management of the condition started early enough through activity modification, wearing comfortable shoes and other treatments and tools.
